Supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) is a control system architecture that uses computers, networked data communications and graphical user interfaces for high-level process supervisory management, but uses other peripheral devices such as programmable logic controllers and discrete PID controllers to interface to the process plant or machinery.

The operator interfaces which enable monitoring and the issuing of process commands, such as controller set point changes, are handled through the SCADA supervisory computer system.

However, the real-time control logic or controller calculations are performed by networked modules which connect to the field sensors and actuators.

Automation or automatic control, is the use of various control systems for operating equipment such as machinery, processes in factories, boilers and heat treating ovens, switching on telephone networks, steering and stabilization of ships, aircraft and other applications and vehicles with minimal or reduced human intervention.

Some processes have been completely automated.

The user interface (UI), in the industrial design field of human–computer interaction, is the space where interactions between humans and machines occur.

The goal of this interaction is to allow effective operation and control of the machine from the human end, whilst the machine simultaneously feeds back information that aids the operators' decision-making process.

Examples of this broad concept of user interfaces include the interactive aspects of computer operating systems, hand tools, heavy machinery operator controls, and process controls.

The design considerations applicable when creating user interfaces are related to or involve such disciplines as ergonomics and psychology.

Operations management is an area of management concerned with designing and controlling the process of production and redesigning business operations in the production of goods or services.

It involves the responsibility of ensuring that business operations are efficient in terms of using as few resources as needed and effective in terms of meeting customer requirements.

It is concerned with managing the process that converts inputs (in the forms of raw materials, labor, and energy) into outputs (in the form of goods and/or services).

Operations management is concerned with managing the operations function in an organization.

Operations is one of the major functions in an organization along with marketing, finance and human resources.

The operations function requires management of both the strategic and day-to-day production of goods and services.
